A couple of decades have taken place since you lost in Enemy Unknown. They've been a staple of XCOM, harkening back to the original UFO defense. They will never become a part of your army. We had to have them come back. It is my hope that we can use this discovery to enhance our soldiers' own abilities in regards to sensing and detecting enemy movement in the field."The chryssalid is very much still one of the alien occupiers of Earth. One final note, which may be of particular interest in regards to our own genetic modification enhancement work - we have finally managed to isolate the Chryssalid exoskeleton's sensory capabilities, and they were in fact electroreceptors as I had initially suspected. Targeting another example in the field through the Unit Analysis View may provide additional information as to its combat capabilities. in any case, this is certainly not a creature to be trifled with, and our troops would do well to exercise extreme caution when engaging this species. One can only wonder why the aliens would use what appears to be a savage, unpredictable creature. Once gestation is complete, which remarkably lasts only minutes, a newborn Chryssalid will emerge, destroying its host in the process. When a human is bitten an embryo is injected into the host and immediately begins to gestate. Their attack is not only extremely deadly, but also necessary for their reproduction, as the intended victim is not immediately killed, but instead turned into what can only be described as a mindless shell, akin to a Zombie, which serves as host to its offspring. The "Chryssalids", as we're calling them, based on their reproductive habits, measure over three meters long from nose to tail, and stand almost two meters high when perched on their hind legs. Unlike the other aliens we've encountered thus far, it is arthropodal in nature, plated in a sleek, black exoskeleton. including several grotesque examples of trauma resulting from the emergence of its young, we've taken to calling this specimen a " Chryssalid".Įven after years of research and study, until now I have never encountered something that is quite as beautiful, yet equally as deadly, as this species. The multilayered structure of the specimen's exoskeleton appears to harbor some form of sensory input, possibly as an electroreceptor of some kind.īased on what we've seen in the field so far. Although covered in an incredibly hard exoskeleton, the six appendages of this alien are nevertheless exceedingly light and flexible.Ī cursory examination of this creature reveals that it is similar in structure to several insect species found on Earth.
